>Majority of the people on this board are 130+ range.

No, they're not, if we're talking about standard deviation of 15 or 16. In contrast to what 4chan might have made you believe, an IQ of 130+ is actually relatively rare. Only about 1 in 50 has it. Also, this site is not some secret Mensa society but rather one ultra-popular and well-known anime forum.

>>9220076
>I sampled the numbers from IQ threads, friendo

Consider these;
1. People are less likely to share their result if it is bad one,
2. Internet IQ tests are not the same as real ones. For example, people may complete same test twice to boost their ego.

Isn't this proof that IQ tests are inaccurate for people over the average ?

>>9220141
>1 in 50
Despite what you attempt to handwave as a bias selecting against IQ on 4chan, there are still thousands of users on the site. If we take 10,000, we should expect to see 200 people with 130+ IQ.

As slow as /sci/ is compared to other boards, I don't think it's some great statistical anomaly if we presume the average IQ around here is ~130.

>empathized
The word you are looking for is emphasized. I know that isnt a typo, because that word is different in several different places. Take your sub 100 IQ back to /pol/.

>>9220252
I assume that my verbal IQ is low. But I'm not an English Speaker. English is my 3rd language. Lel.

>>9220226
Psychology is a Pseudoscience that rarely replicate. Just Saying.

>>9220257
Apparently you suck at pattern recognition too because you fucked up greentexting which has examples shown several times in literally every thread on 4chan. Also verbal IQ isnt recognized as having anything to do with IQ because IQ tests aren’t supposed to rely on prior knowledge, but rather pattern recognition(which as stated before, you suck at).

Pro tip:

This is not.

Not buying it. Why not just format your post like every other post on 4chan? Oh right, its because you suck at pattern recognition like other 80 IQ humans.

Psychologist here. Problem with psychology is that it is infested with "nonscientificly oriented people". I was shocked by some of students at university. Most of them were in to some sort of therapy nonsense some even belived in zodiac. You spend so much time learning about development of psychy and then go on believeing in that crap.
And it is not only students. I am working on my PhD and I had lecture in Social Psychology. I decided to check out one of researches mentioned in one of textbooks from USA...It was conducted on sample of 40 people. 40 PEOPLE!!! No replication attempt...nothing...and it is in the textbook. I never published my master thesis in any journal because I tough it wasn't important enough...and now I see what swill ends up published I kind of regret my decision

>>9220675
All sane Psychologist should start using more Biology, Chemistry, Medicine & Math

Becoming Neuroscientists. Neurocience is a Science.

Social Psychology doesn't replicate, is so biased & have so bullshit mixed into it that it can be barely considered science anymore.

The Best areas of Modern Psychology are closer to Biology & Chemistry.

And yet no one on this board will come even remotely close to his level of achievement.

Really concocts my coconuts.

>>9220739
Kind of agree. I believe that psychology is...cruch? Bridging the gap until other scientific fields figure out how to work on the human mind.
Unfortunately psychology is full of people fleeing "hard sciences". I was one of few students not intimidated by psychometry, statistics and similar and it gave me competitive edge and source of income (other students payed me to analyze their data)
I love social psychology. It has a lot of potential...when it is done right it has predictive value but unfortunately it was butchered and is still being butchered.

I feel no sense of superiority over my IQ, as I think IQ says nothing other than someone being good at IQ tests

No one believes Feynman's test was accurate. It basically couldn't have been. I can blow off a test and fail intentionally too, or not care. Feynman was always considered incredibly gifted as a youth. The idea that he really had a 125 IQ, just because that is the only test he took, is idiotic.

>>9220675
>nonscientificly oriented people

>currently taking intro psych class because of social science requirement and thinking about med school

>literally first third of the class is just straight memorization

Is this normal?

>>9220820
About 50% of the major scientific and math breakthroughs are done by people with 160+ IQs. To put that in perspective, that is rarer than 1 in 10,000. IQ isn't a myth.

>>9220224
This is false. Misspellings and certain grammar errors have little to do with verbal IQ. Feynman was a fantastic writer and was known to be incredibly quick witted. He had a very high verbal IQ. The test was a fluke.

>>9220262
IQ is not in that category.

>>9220069
He took the test in school as a youngin. And IQ can fluctuate in some individuals as they grow. And older IQ tests suck, they didnt really even test for g, they tested for crystallized intelligence. Im not knocking the correlation between IQ and fact based knowlege, Im just saying that he may not have given a fuck about reading books when he was a kid.

>>9221349
They still test for that. Also, there is research that shows highly gifted people develop into their full intellectual potential later in life than those with average IQ. I agree though, his score is inaccurate. Feynman is an utter genius

>>9220069
>Majority of the people on this board are 130+ range
Then why are most posters here so fucking stupid?

If you really were smart you would also be rich. Not every rich person is smart but every smart person is rich.

>>9220069
I believe what you say is true, but even if it were then I think that would more likely imply that IQ is bullshit.

Jokes on you my IQ is 120.

>>9220069
Contrary to the neckbeard 'online IQ test' takers here on /sci/ I had two real life IQ tests officially administrated, one at 6 and scored 135 with 15SD, one at 10 and scored 134 with 15SD. However I scored much higher in the math/logical related sections then the vocabulary or reading one like 147 vs 121 or something, explains why I'm only a casual reader but avid mathematician and scientist
There's literally no purpose to get an IQ test unless it's clear your highly gifted or highly deficient and are trying to convince the school board to accelerate or give you extra help respectively, I got mine because I was so bored through elementary school I would do the grade 6's math homework at 5-6 years old and started mis behaving
Anyways IQ isnt that important, focus on emotional intelligence or just perfecting a field of interest.

>>9223706
Also worth noting I have genetic Narcolepsy, a severe form of it so that I'm probably one of the only people legally with a prescription on dexamphetamine on this board. I'm also on the autistic spectrum somewhere, psych didn't bother testing just knew I was aspie, since I was a teenager I learned to channel my autistic gifts and shortcomings into something worthwhile and to try to empathize with normie extroverted feeler types.
INTP btw for whatever scientific validity a self given personality test can give, very strong INTP as well like 80-95% in all the scales.

Truth is most people aren't worth talking too with the terrible education system the world has and terrible cultural values on learning and academia

my iq is 212 ama

>>9220855
sauce for those numbers?

>>9223834
kek

Confirmed IQ of 138 here. Lazy as fuck tho, since I breezed through elementary and high school without discipline and relying on what I remembered from lectures. Have big fucking problem as a theoretical physics student right now, can confirm high IQ doesn't mean shit if you have no discipline and work ethic whatsoever.

>>9223834
can you explain to me in brainlet terms IUTT?

>>9220069
Application of intelligence is important. The way the educational institution is run in America stunts effectively the population capable of making these breakthroughs.

Gifted institutions shouldn't even have the same code of suspension. Weather someone sucks the proverbial GPA dick, the place for smart people is with other smart people. I say once people make it to this advanced grouping, they should be catered to, allowing them to innovate without trudge of conventional schooling.

>>9224598
I have the same exact experience. Though I'm middle aged now. I finally figured out how to apply discipline when I was 30. Now I am 44 and I have lost it again. Strange shit.

>>9223467
I took it just for fun and to see which Problem Solving was proposed..
>every

>>9220069
Intelligence , learning ability, and problem solving capabilities are not fixed; they can vary (often improving) over your whole lifetime. The brain is highly plastic and can sometimes even reprogram itself to full functionality when it is damaged. On the other hand neither is it infinitely plastic – any given brain has a range of accessible capabilities and can be improved only to a certain point.
However, for people of supposedly “normal” intelligence and above, it is
by no means clear what that point is.

Intellectual heavy weights like Einstein and Feynman may be gifted, but sheer hard work and discipline is much more impressive than being born lucky. A personality that embraces difficulty and struggle might be even rarer than a high natural IQ.

>>9220069
i have an iq of 110\125.

First time i did the test i got 110. I was in shit shape and severly depressed.

Second time i got 125 and i was in better shape and slightly less depressed.

Second test was 6 months later. What is my iq?

also am i retarded?

>>9220069
This just shows that IQ doesn't measure intelligence and that IQ is irrelevant

Whenever someone asks for my IQ or shares his own in a conversation I immediately think that person is stupid, no matter how high the digit is. I don't even know mine since I never tested and never will. Mensa members can suck my dick

>>9220069
IQ doesn't win you Nobel prizes and respect. Actual groundbreaking, incredible and novel work in a particular field does.
Feynman didn't just come into work one day, slam his dick on the table, boasted about a test score he did on club penguin and win the Nobel prize in physics for fundamental work in QED.
If you spend all day worrying or flaunting about your IQ instead then congratulations on making no impact on history.

>>9220262
Psychology is hardly a science, it's just a discipline (that goes for all social "sciences")

I once argued with a friend of mine over this shit, he studies Psychology and I study Astrophysics. Brainlet claims that Astrophysics is not a science because it has no practical application and that because of it's deterministic nature all natural sciences are not "science", he actually believes for something to be science it has to be subjective because he needs to make the decision
People go over so much brain gymnastics to feel they have the power and choice over their lives

>>9226572
>A personality that embraces difficulty and struggle might be even rarer than a high natural IQ.
This is why its so important to put some points into willpower instead of minmaxing your int at character creation

>>9220262 >>9220739 >>9227279
>Psychology is hardly a science
I agree. Social "sciences" are a bunch of contradictory flawed theories.

Even Economics & Finance that use more Math fails to predict or replicate most of time.

>>9227270
IQ is relevant, it is the single most important determining factor for someones capacity for success and financial stability

IQ also affects your processing speed

IQ does not denote your capability to be intelligent though since there may very well be different factors involved in your capability to utilize that IQ

I would be surprised if even 4% of this board was over 130.
